The Event: Working at Country Club for a Summer
For one summer, I worked in the kitchen of a Country Club in my native land of Cape Cod. Mainly I worked for the catering staff, being a server at different functions. Their biggest functions that occurred with the most regularity were weddings – handling about two or three every weekend.
The first one I worked was a bit of a disaster as I was unfamiliar with the giant trays we used and had to smile while hot au jus slalomed off the plates, down the tray and finally settling onto a nice spot on underneath my collar.
It was a harried night that I was looking forward to being over when my supervisor suddenly perked up. “Ah, it’s ‘Last Dance’, it’s almost over.” I had no idea what he was talking about, but he said that at 90% of the weddings he worked, this was the last song.
